    Converting the Dukes of Hell

    I think it is double tapping if you go with both a 3 round duration AND a separation ends the effect clause. I agree that flaming burst enchantment for simplicity works best...does he affect ammunition or the ranged weapon itself? And can he throw a weapon affected by this power? I would say...

    Updated monsters in Expedition to Demonweb Pits!

    I'd like to point out that the cambion as given to us with stats is different from the cambion as given to us 'for player characters'. For one thing, +5 str, +3 dex/con is clearly an 'aimed too low' typo from the number pad. The sample cambion has 18 str, 16 dex and con. These should be +8...

    Baba Yaga d20 conversion?

    They could easily be. It is obviously a reference to the Christian book of Revelation, in which the riders of the Apocalypse have such horses. I statted up War, Famine and Plague over at DF as NE outsiders, but the ones from the myth could also be undead, possibly death knights. Vasilisa the...

    All the Different Types of Elementals

    Like I said over at DF, I look most forward to it. The first two you did actually rival the Demonomicon articles for my favorites. It's been awhile since I actually looked forward to reading Dragon....it was just habit before.

    Baba Yaga d20 conversion?

    I notice her organization is listed as solitary. In Russian folklore, three supernatural knights, one on a red horse, one on a black horse, and one on a pale horse, protect her and ride around her hut.

    By which you mean officially statted. :) I was doing up a version of her (Bwimb II) that night for my Alternate Cosmic thread over at DF.

    Updated monsters in Expedition to Demonweb Pits!

    What is an 'envoy of Lolth'? Is it like a more powerful Aspect of Lolth? Between aspect and avatar in power level? Is Lolth a goddess or still just a demon prince during this timeline? I know they reduced Strahd in levels to reflect the earlier time period for Ravenloft; did something...

    Converting the Dukes of Hell

    I would say that in humanoid form, he can only use weapons and the natural attacks of that form (if any). In raven form, he can only use the natural attacks of the raven form. He can fly in raven form. In either form, he can use his spell-like abilities. (Does he have any...

    Converting the Dukes of Hell

    I agree with alternate form here for the ability over change shape, for the exact reason Shade mentions. And I didn't think about him keeping his same stats in the form. Oops.

    Converting the Dukes of Hell

    When we did Malphas for Gates of Hell, we sort of incorporated crow/raven traits into his normal form. Sort of, but not quite fully, an anthropomorphic raven. Almost all of those old devils were taken from real life religious myth, and had bizzare forms. So I guess I'm sort of suggesting...

    I do note that....now. It was late last night and I had Bwimb on the brain. Thanks for the information, though.

    What does MC8 stand for? I'm specifically talking about the listed source for the Archomentals of Law and Chaos.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Just to be perfectly clear, Dicefreaks does not have a CR 90 Demogorgon either. The concern raised over this issue isn't about whether the fiends should be CR 25-30, or CR 30-50, or CR 50+. All of those number spreads are beyond the 'standard game' cap of 20. CR 25-30 are capable of being...

    Oh no Conan just DIDNT!

    And was let down when they found that it wasn't.....guilty.

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    You can click my Demogorgon in my sig to see how it can be handled as well, but that's not REALLY the point here. If you have to make changes either to the cosmos or to the demon lords in order for them to make sense, then by definition they don't make sense as they are. Whether those changes...

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Gosh golly gee, you are right! That must be why I am asking the other side to explain their position while explaining my own. And I have yet to hear a solid reason for a base line demon lord that is under a balor's CR. I'm beginning to think that there actually isn't one. And I've read all...

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    You'd be surprised then. If you have CR 12, 13HD balors, then your PCs are true planar terrors at level 15. If you have CR 18 great wyrms and phoenixes, and CR 17 titans and solars, then yes. Demon Lords at CR 19-23 doesn't bother me so much. I'm not saying that everyone has to play epic...

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Ah. Well, it is good that she is not a Lord of the Nine anymore anyways, or she'd have to be reduced to a CR 19-22 ish. However, since she is a dragon-god, she should probably be weaker than the most powerful dragons....CR 24 sounds about right for her. Otherwise she's useless. I'm still not...

    Hordes of the Abyss.

    Gosh, you are right, but I didn't mention CR at all in my post. i'm quite aware of CR inconsistancies....pit fiends can kill balors 99% of the time. However, I said "more powerful" Making Jubilex CR 19 suggests to me (based off the fact that Demogorgon is CR 23 with 27HD, balors are CR 20...

    Where was it retconned, Rip? And do you support hags in a baatezu's position? :D
